今年夏天，随着CAIE（剑桥）和EdExcel（爱德思）考试局的A-level成绩放榜，我校首届毕业生的A2考试和G10学生IGCSE的考试结果如约而至。
在英国学生A*和A成绩比例下降到27%的压力下，南京金地未来学校国际高中部得A率高达50%，其中不乏AS考试五门全A，A2考试获得A*A*A的好成绩。
不做“考试工厂”，南京金地未来学校回归教育本质，坚持“各美其美”的教育模式，成功助力每一个为梦想拼搏过的同学，收获了喜人的成果，这也标志着南京金地未来学校圆满完成首届金地学子的培养，即将迈入蓬勃发展的第四年。
Staff and students alike have been keenly anticipating the public exam results this year. With our first G12 graduating cohort and our first substantial number of IGCSE entries in G10, these represent the school’s first ever complete set of public exam results.The exam results have been awarded by CAIE (Cambridge) and EdExcel examination boards. 
A-level考试由英国考试局统一评判，严格的评分标准，也被认定为大学预备学业的“金牌标准”。近几年，由于疫情影响，考试局调整了评分形式。2022年，导师估分制也导致了学生A*/A成绩比例飙升至45%。
今年，考试局明确表示，“疫情影响”必须结束，不再针对这一因素给予特殊调整。这也直接导致了今年英国学生A*和A成绩比例下降到27%，接近2019年同期水平。（来源BBC新闻，2023/08/17）
The exams are marked externally and subjected to the highest standards of assessment. A levels are widely regarded as a “gold standard” of pre-university academic achievement.In recent years, the examination boards have given special consideration to students due to the effects of covid on the educational provision in many countries. In 2022, this saw the percentage of A* and A grades soar to 45% as exams were largely replaced with grades awarded by teachers.
This year the exam boards have been clear that the “Covid grade inflation” must end, and no special consideration has been given for this set of exams. The consequence is that in England, the percentage of A* and A grades has dropped right back to 27%, similar to the pre-Covid results in 2019 (source BBC news, 2023/08/17).
金地学子高分频出，熠熠闪光
值得自豪的是，在如此严峻的形势下，南京金地未来学校G11、G12学生在AS和A2考试中成绩斐然，取得了50% A*和A的成绩。这个比例，几乎是英国当地学生得A率的两倍。
与此同时，G10学生在IGCSE考试中表现不俗，获得了44%的A*和A的好成绩。在每一个熠熠闪光的A背后，都有着无数次的努力拼搏，一步一个脚印的恒久坚持，他们今日绽放，也即将璀璨这个世界。
We are particularly proud, therefore, that our G11 and G12 students achieved 50% A* and A grades in their AS and A2 examinations. This is nearly double the percentage in England where students have for many years been following courses designed to prepare them for A levels. Of course students in England also benefit substantially from being native English speakers. So our students’ results really are an extraordinary achievement, just three years after the school opened. Our G10 students did nearly as well, achieving 44% A* and A in their IGCSE exams.
悦纳教育，实现学业与人格均衡发展
南京金地未来学校国际高中Matt校长对于同学们取得的成绩感到十分高兴。 他说：“优秀的成绩是学生努力的成果，也反映了学校始终如一的护航与指引。” Matt校长强调，南京金地未来学校不是一个“考试工厂”，而是回归教育本质，扬长避短实现全纳教育，帮助每一个孩子收获属于自己的金色未来。
Matt Ford, the International High School Principal said he is delighted for the students, and the results reflect their hard work and, of course, the commitment and guidance of their teachers. He was keen to stress that the school was not very selective academically in its first two years when admitting students. He also notes that we are not an “exam factory” (which is a term widely used in the UK to refer to schools in which students work very long hours focused purely on academic results and little else).
Matt校长表示：“在全球范围内，许多学生都面临着学业成绩的巨大压力，年轻人的心理健康问题比以往任何时候都多。在南京金地未来学校，学生悦纳自我，肯定自我，欣赏自我比什么都重要。我们希望学生不仅要享受他们的学习时光，更要懂得在活动中一展所长，在课堂外自主探索。”
He said: “Many students in China and elsewhere are put under huge pressure to achieve academic results. Globally there are more mental health problems than ever among our young people. At RGSG Nanjing we believe firmly that it is important that our students are happy and enjoy good mental health and physical health. They should enjoy their time at school. They should also take part in activities and learn outside the classroom. We are proud of our House system which teaches our students essential soft skills such as communication, collaboration and leadership in a manner that is fun.
学校书院制的培养模式正是如此，它帮助学生实现了“各美其美”的个性化发展。用有趣的方式教授学生基本的软技能，如沟通、协作和领导能力等，在充满幸福感的教育中，使学生获得良好的学术成果和发展关键技能。学生们出色的表现也再次证明了学校教育理念的卓越与正确。事实上，这种教育模式已经延续了数百年，不仅是国际教育的核心，也是英国皇家文法学校（吉尔福德）坚持的教育理念，更为学生们进入全球顶尖大学和开展职业生涯打好坚实基础。
Our excellent results completely vindicate our approach. They demonstrate that it is perfectly possible to get strong academic results and to develop key skills through a variety of approaches in a way that is enjoyable. Some in China label this approach “loose management” but nothing is further from the truth. It is in fact a style of education that has existed in the best Western schools for hundreds of years. This is at the heart of a true international education and is very much the philosophy of our parent school, RGSG in the UK. It prepares students well for international universities and their careers beyond”.
英国皇家文法学校国际运营经理Chris Lee先生说：“我们已获悉南京金地未来学校取得的硕果，同学们非常棒，我们为他们感到骄傲。尽管面临着许多挑战，同学们还是取得了优异的成绩。请务必转达英国学校对所有教职员工和同学们的祝贺。”
Mr Chris Lee, the RGSG International Operations manager said, “We have just seen the exam results from RGSG Nanjing. They are fantastic and a there is lot to be proud of here. Despite the many challenges of the school the students have achieved some great results. Please do pass on our congratulations to all the staff involved in these results, and the students.”

With record numbers of applicants for the International High School for September this year and G10 at full capacity across three forms, the International High School school is due to double in size this September. The quality of the intake is excellent with substantially more high achievers and scholars than ever before. The future of the International High School looks very strong indeed as it prepared to build on these excellent foundations.
Our graduating students in G12 are in the process of finalising their chosen universities and courses, and we look forward to providing information about their destinations shortly.
